    In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
